Ally McCoist: I had to be scraped off ceiling when this Celtic player scored

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has revealed that he has to be ‘scraped off the ceiling’ when Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths put Scotland ahead against England back in June.

Griffiths, 27, scored two stunning free-kicks to see the Tartan Army come from a goal behind against the Auld Enemy at Hampden in a World Cup qualifier clash.

However Tottenham’s Harry Kane popped up with a 93rd minute equaliser for the Three Lions to ruin Scotland’s hopes of getting three vital points against their bitter international rivals.

Ibrox icon McCoist has now recalled the moment he was sat alongside ex-Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright when covering the game, telling a hilarious version of events of what went on in the studio for the game.

“We were one-nothing down and not playing particularly well,” said McCoist on TalkSport on Friday, as shown in a video on Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast’s official Twitter account.

“So Leigh Griffiths scores a free-kick, the place is in uproar. And then two minutes later, he scores another free-kick and literally I am officially getting scraped off the ceiling at his point. I’m going crazy.

“And I turn around and Wrighty’s at the window and there’s about 2,000 Scottish supporters giving him it like you’ve no idea. They’re giving it Wrighty big time. I’m just loving every minute of it.”
